“We have been using the 4WD proving ground at Makoura Lodge as part of our Toyota technical training and 4WD experience for many years. The all-weather track provides a safe but challenging course that has been specifically designed to test the features of an off-road vehicle. We are always impressed with the versatility and variety of the tracks and the consistent performance of the natural terrain surface. The team also provides outstanding hospitality.” James Jewel, Toyota, Assistant Manager.
